The year was 1955. Emmett Till was a young African-American boy from Chicago visiting relatives in Mississippi. One day Emmett was seen "flirting" with a white woman in town, and for that he was mutilated and murdered at the age of fourteen. He was found with part of a cotton...

Thanks to everyone for bearing with me as I spend so much time on what happened to Emad Burnat. It's important to me because he's my friend, and he's being bullied. In the U.S., being Palestinian = Easy Target. It's not right.

Hace unos días se celebró en Beverly Hills la cena organizada por la Academia de Cine en honor de los directores y productores de las cinco películas nominadas este año para el Oscar al Mejor Documental. La cena era una tradición que mi esposa y yo comenzamos hace seis años...

Last night was the Motion Picture Academy-sponsored dinner in Beverly Hills honoring the directors and producers of this year's five nominated films for Best Documentary. The dinner was an occasional tradition my wife and I started six years ago when we took our fellow nominees (we were nominated for Sicko)...

There comes a point about two-thirds of the way through Zero Dark Thirty where it is clear something, or someone, on high has changed. The mood at the CIA has shifted, become subdued. It appears that the torture-approving guy who's been president for the past eight years seems to be,...

ÉTATS-UNIS - Vu avez pu entendre parler récemment de l'ancien sénateur Chuck Hagel, ce républicain du Nebraska que le Président Obama veut nommer Secrétaire de la Défense.

Mais ce qui vous...

I just sent this to Bill Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard magazine and one of the most influential advocates of our invasion of Iraq. He posted something this weekend about my post where I found an old quote from Chuck Hagel about how the...

Forse saprete che il prossimo lunedì il Presidente Obama probabilmente affiderà all'ex senatore Chuck Hagel, un repubblicano del Nebraska, la carica di Segretario della Difesa.

Quello che forse non sapete - perché tutti l'hanno dimenticato - è che nel 2007 Chuck Hagel è impazzito e ha detto...

You might have seen that on Monday President Obama will likely nominate former Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican, to be Secretary of Defense.

But what you probably haven't seen -- because everyone has forgotten -- is that back in 2007, Chuck Hagel went totally crazy and...

I don't support the troops, America, and neither do you. I am tired of the ruse we are playing on these brave citizens in our armed forces. And guess what -- a lot of these soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines see right through the bullshit of those words,...

Happy New Year! Have you made your resolutions for 2013? Here are mine:

1. Learn the names of the people two doors down from me and invite them over for dinner.

2. Learn how to make dinner.

3. Buy a gun....

After watching the deranged, delusional National Rifle Association press conference on Friday, it was clear that the Mayan prophecy had come true. Except the only world that was ending was the NRA's. Their bullying power to set gun policy in this country is over. The nation is repulsed by the...

Dear President Obama:

Good luck on your journeys overseas this week, and congratulations on decisively winning your second term as our president! The first time you won four years ago, most of us couldn't contain our joy and found ourselves literally in tears over your victory.

This time, it was...

Ce pays a véritablement changé et je crois qu'on ne reviendra pas en arrière. La haine a perdu hier. Ce qui est en soi incroyable. Et toutes ces femmes qui ont été élues hier soir ! Un rejet total des attitudes néandertaliennes.

Maintenant le vrai travail commence. Des...

Congratulazioni a tutti!!

Questo paese è cambiato davvero, e credo che non si possa più tornare indietro. L'odio ieri ha perso. Il che è incredibile in se e per sé. E tutte le donne che sono state elette la notte scorsa? Un assoluto rigetto di quelle pose da...

Congratulations everyone!!

This country has truly changed, and I believe there will be no going back. Hate lost yesterday. That is amazing in and of itself. And all the women who were elected last night! A total rebuke of Neanderthal attitudes.

Now the real work begins....

Tomorrow, the bankers and corporate chiefs are planning an historic victory party. With the election of Mitt Romney, their takeover of American democracy would be complete.

They thought they had accomplished that four years ago when they backed Barack Obama (he received more money from Wall Street than McCain; Goldman...

I have a personal favor I'd like to ask each of you. We all know the election next Tuesday is going to be very close. But I've got an idea that could help put President Obama over the top.

I want you -- yes, YOU, the person...

Nothing makes the 1 percent angrier than any suggestion that anyone else helped them acquire their beautiful, beautiful cash.

So I was a little surprised to find out from the New Yorker magazine this week that one of Bain Capital's very first deals was buying "a small airline that...
